2. There has been a clear progression in our planning and time management and efficiency
from our Preliminary task to the final Product, in that we had created a storyboard and a
full script before we actually started filming for our final, which allowed us to be more
organised and efficient, thus we could focus on filming and shot types that we would like to
change (if any) rather than what the characters are going to say, where are they going to
stand and what the character’s objective is. We were also able to inform our Actors of when
they would be needed in advance, so that they could make plans and would not be
unavailable at the last minute. We had also casted the characters carefully and when we
needed to recast Jordan (the old Rufus Parker) intoTumaini, there was not a problem with
time. Although we had lost the first shooting footage of Jordan, had to re-film the whole
thing again and then had to recast “Rufus Parker”, time was still on my side as I started to
film early and had more time to refine the final piece.
However, in the case with my Preliminary task, the main character had to cancel on us
twice because we had told him that we needed to film too last minute and he was not free.
Plus, we had no teacher to be in the scene with the main character (all of this was done on a
couple of days), when we asked a teacher if he would be in the film, he then agreed as he
was free, so we managed to get lucky in the end.
Editing was all(100%) left to me in the preliminary task and it was a very stressful thing to
have had done all the filming, choreography and then having to do all the editing.
